Mrs. Bethune: Am I bound to answer that question?
Judge Russel: I overrule that question, and you need not answer it.
Mr. Howe: Did you ever live in a house in Lombard street, Philadelphia, kept by a Miss Graham, and did you ever meet Hemmings there.
Mrs. Bethune (indignantly): I did not.
Mr. Howe: Did you ever introduce Hemmings to any person at Saratoga as your brother?
Mrs. Bethune (reluctantly): Yes, I have. (Sensation.)
Mr. Howe: How many times have you given Hemmings your jewelry to pledge that he might have money?
Mrs. Bethune: I never gave him permission to pledge any of my jewelry.
Mr. Howe: Do you mean to swear that he has never pledged any of your jewelry prior to the present occasion?
Mrs. Bethune: Yes, he has, but not with my consent. (Sensation.)
